Title: Slicing Rocks in the Lab w/ Geochron View count: 589 Rating: 4.9594593 (74 ratings) Description: I've received several comments from viewers requesting some lab videos, so here is the first of many to come. When using wet saws such as the water saw or oil saw used here, be sure to take heed to the following: 1.) No loose clothing or bracelets. 2.) Always wear eye protection. 3.) A respirator is a must. 4.) Hearing protection is a must. 5.) A rubber apron is a must. Be careful when dealing with brittle rocks, they can chip very easilly. Always be sure that you understand the cleavage characteristics of the rocks and minerals you're dealing with before attempting to cut them.
